No WAY is Bank of America CEO Ken Lewis going to be the only one to answer for the acquisition of crappy Merrill Lynch and its crappy bonuses, "a person close to Lewis's defense team" (who may or may not be Ken Lewis himself) tells Charlie Gasparino today on the Daily Beast. NO WAY will he be a scapegoat, alone, for the people who twisted his arm to go through with the Merrill deal by telling him he would be fired if he didn't. "If this thing goes to trial you can expect both Paulson and Bernanke to be on the witness list." If he's going down, he's bringing them down, too. Bringing them down to Chinatown. Order in the court!

We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other. - John Adams

The NYC slicks hate the Charlotte,North Carolina bank that has the potential to kick their ass. Cumo sees this as a way to ingratiate himself with the NY bankers and score political points by attacking the NC bank. Smoke,mirrows,lies and hypocritical propaganda.

Unfortunately some freepers suffer from class envy. They hate the banks and the bankers and are perfectly content with the Obama administration demonizing them. This is supposed to be a conservative forum but the knee jerk reaction is anything but.

I have recently seen a movie or TV program where the bad guy carried a device to slaughter cattle in commercial operations.It used compressed air and when applied to the skull brought instant death and produced a nice round hole in the skull.

I’m convinced that’s what killed Ron Brown and was noted in the autopsy
